PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

With its hacienda-inspired entrance, waitresses in white dresses and charro-style neckties, and location in the heart of the Costera, this typical Mexican restaurant targets tourists. But its authentic and delicious food attracts Mexicans in the know -- a comforting stamp of approval. Among its specialties are cabrito al pastor (roasted goat), charro beans, Oaxaca-style mole, and burritos de machaca (made with shredded beef). A whole cabrito is usually being slowly roasted inside the glass-enclosed parilla. Bottles of beer are brought to your table in buckets of ice and then poured in frosty cold mugs. El Cabrito lies on the ocean side of the Costera, south of the convention center.
